      Make sure you guys verify that brick isn't a chimney for a furnace, water heater, or dryer. Plus don't tear it down until you have the means to prevent more damage to the structure from a collapse.

      ANY of the furniture and cabinets etc that have not been thrown out, go back thru them and look in all nooks and crannies, under and in, and look for secret compartments. Many people used to hide cash and valuables back in those days. Another place is above doorframes and windows but those I would think you’d run across while ripping out.
      Also, even more importantly, see next part….. it’s the Momma Bear protector naturally coming out in me. lol

    (Retired interior designer).....Before you call the roofer call the architect or an engineer who works with drainage and water. Flat roofs are notorious for not draining properly. My guess is you should not replace the roof before getting a proper consult on drainage concerns. Make sure to document -(as you are) all the areas that had standing water & rot. The new roof may look similar but it will likely be designed differently this go round. The previous owners didn't fix it and this is probably why....They may have been aware that they would have to do the work you are doing now, and also to rework the original roofline. IMO it probably leaked from day one. At the time FLAT was a "new" design concept we have more info about this today.

    If the wood hasn't gotten soaked. I'd save every piece I could. Years ago I helped a friend demo his "home that couldn't be fixed." It was from the 1960s. He was getting rid of all the wood paneling because he said it made the house dark. I took it, planed it to get rid of the varnish and redid my home office with it. About six months later he sees it and says "Oh, this is fabulous. So warm and welcoming. Wait. This is from my house. I thought it'd be darker." What you have is thinner, but not nearly as dark as his was.

  • @johnhaller5851
    @johnhaller5851 Před 2 měsíci +17

    That "open concept" wall is likely a shear wall and cannot be removed without structural engineer approval. The diagonal boards are the clue that this is a shear wall. A shear wall keeps the walls from racking under wind or ceiling loads. You may have seen the house under construction collapse because of a lack of shear walls.
    On the drywall front, remember that all the drywall that is removed is going to have to be replaced, and they will be full panels that are heavier. You also probably can't fill a bin with drywall without going overweight.

    Residential plans are not always updated as the structure is built, and they are rarely updated with the AHJ/City after a structure is built. With the concrete block wall I would have a Structural Engineer come look at it after the drywall and insulation are removed. Yes, it’s $750 for an hour of their time but a good SE is really helpful and they can assist you with identifying a lot of issues, or areas for improvement. A good SE will also look at several things if the time you buy is more than what it takes them to look at one issue. On a mid-century modern house that an architect built for themselves, I would absolutely recommend you get an SE involved because that design style sometimes pushed the limit of construction technology at the time it was built, and now that time has past and building technology has improved some structural components of the house may need rebuilt or strengthened. Also, based on the renderings you showed last video you’ll need someone to tell you how to reconfigure load bearing walls.

    Ok, so I guess when I posted about how I was hoping you could salvage as much of the character and charm and furniture that was left in this home, I spoke way too soon! I didn’t realize it wouldn’t be salvageable & your plans were to completely gut the house. However, I have complete confidence that you guys will restore some of that character and charm, making this your dream home! You will also appreciate it so much more, since you’re literally putting blood, sweat, and tears into this project. I can’t wait to continue watching the progress videos and ultimately, the finished home! 🤩🥰🙌🏼💯 Thank you for sharing your journey with us! I LOVE this house! 🥹

    I had just mentioned to my wife that I could see you had the "pre-drywall" drywall. That is, it is not drywall at all. Then you stopped to talk about how heavy it is. Yep. We had the same thing in our 1948 modern style house in Seattle. Late 1940s to early 1950s, a product was used in transition from traditional plaster and lathe, but before drywall or gypsum board was in common use. The product you have is a board product, but not using lightweight gypsum, and instead a heavy "filling" between the paper facing that is more like plaster. Then plaster is applied after the board is up to give a plaster and lathe look. Boy is that "plaster board" product heavy and very dense. It made the old houses from this period very solid and very quiet.
    Also, I assume the concrete column you encountered is a flue - maybe for a furnace downstairs?

  • @ronnygilmore6558
    @ronnygilmore6558 Před 2 měsíci +6

    The reason the drywall is so heavy is you are dealing with what was called rock lath it replaced wood lath in was the the beginning of drywall but they still skim coated the entire wall with plaster and plaster is not light. Now days we have large sheets of drywall and only the seems are coated with light weight drywall compound. That's how it's done in the Midwest in the states anyhow. I've been hanging and finishing drywall for 25 years now.
